DOVER, De. — The wife of a competitive weightlifter will finally
, years after killing her husband.
Jamie Baker's husband James died on the floor of the couple's bathroom in 2013. The medical examiner found his kidneys contained the same chemicals as automotive antifreeze and ruled his death a homicide. Eventually investigators found bottles of steroids locked in a toolbox found on the scene. Testing revealed they also had antifreeze in them.
Jamie confessed to the killing almost a year later, admitting that she used a hypodermic needle to inject antifreeze into the steroid pills. The antifreeze was ingested by James in small doses until enough of it crystallized in his kidneys and killed him.
Jamie pleaded guilty to second degree murder after her confession.
